A combined computational and experimental investigation of nonthermal biological effects on prenatal development due to radiation from low power microwave antennas

Abstract

This is an integrated study of the biological effects of pulse-modulated very low power density microwave radiation. It employs a combination of a computational model of the rat and extensive in vivo experiments on rat embryos, during embryogenesis and organogenesis. The whole investigation is further enhanced via an immunological and chemical investigation of the rats' organs. The whole study is one of the first to combine results obtained by the computational, the experimental and the biomolecular investigations and attempts a discussion on existing standards for protection from low power density, long-term electromagnetic field exposure.
